Spicy Devilish Eggs

Spicy Devilish Eggs

• 1 Dozen eggs BARELY hard boiled, peeled, sliced in half length wise
• mix yolks thoroughly with:
• 3 tblsp melted butter
• 3 tblsp mayonnaise
• 1/2 tsp Coleman's dry mustard
• 1 tblsp finely chopped fresh hot pepper (use your favorite)
• 1/4 tsp granulated garlic
• 1/4 tsp ground habanero
• 1/4 tsp ground cayenne
• 1/4 tsp ground white pepper
• Pinch gumbo file
• Pinch basil
• Pinch oregano
• Pinch sage
• Pinch rosemary
• Pinch thyme.

  Stuff each half with plenty of the yolk mixture and sprinkle with paprika (or chili powder for an extra zing) and top with a couple pieces of sliced green onion.
  Serve with your favorite bottle of mustard or green chili based hot sauce on the side.

  Note:
  I've used this recipe for years with discriminating crowds only...it gets raves. You can make it has hot as you like by adding more or different peppers. It's not as much work as it appears.

  An added note: If you like a REALLY good egg salad sandwich boil one more egg really hard (10-12 minutes), chop it and three devilish egg halves coarsely, mix with 1 tsp mayonnaise, 1tblsp heavy cream, 1 tsp chopped plum tomato meat, 1 tsp chopped celery, 1tsp chopped green onion and your favorite cheese chopped finely. This should make 2 sandwiches.YUM!
